Seattle Pedestrian Injury Attorney

About 5,000 pedestrians die every year. Thousands more are injured.

Most “pedestrian accidents” are not accidents at all. They are collisions caused by dangerous drivers, who: ignore crosswalks; disregard other cars stopped for a pedestrian; disobey traffic signs; speed; drive distracted; or are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

That’s why we say “crash”—not “accident”.

What to do After a Pedestrian Injury Crash

Sometimes, the driver who hits someone is not the only party at fault.

Cities and counties are responsible for designing and maintaining safe, accessible pedestrian routes.

Featured Pedestrian Injury Case: Doe v. City of Lynnwood

Case: “Doe” v. City of LynnwoodResult: $2,250,000 settlement

“Ms. Doe” was 67 years old, living in senior housing in Lynnwood, Washington, when she was struck in the crosswalk outside her apartment building.

When that housing complex was built, the city was required to install and maintain a lighted crosswalk system. Pedestrians pushed a button; it activated lights to warn drivers that a person was crossing the street.

One September evening, Ms. Doe and a friend were walking home. She pushed the button for the crosswalk warning.

No lights came on: the crossing signal didn’t work. The ladies looked both ways, and saw no cars coming.

When they were halfway across the street, a car pulled out of a nearby parking lot. The driver did not see Ms. Doe and her friend.

The car hit Ms. Doe. She had very serious injuries, and spent 3 months in the ICU at Harborview Medical Center.

Ms. Doe and her family contacted attorney Kevin Coluccio. He immediately began an investigation into the crash.

His investigation team found a witness who said the warning light system had been broken for months—and that the city of Lynnwood knew about it.

The witness had actually spoken with a city worker about fixing the broken crosswalk warning.

After a lawsuit was filed, the city admitted the problem and fixed the crosswalk simply by replacing a broken part.

Ms. Doe spent months in a rehabilitation center. She recovered from many of her injuries, but suffers some permanent disabilities and limitations.
